9 hours ago I now have 28 park runs under my belt. There was a strong tail wind all the way out which meant a lot of digging deep on the way back. I made the most of the tail wind to keep ahead of the runners not far behind. At the turnaround I had caught up to the next runner ahead of me. I tucked in behind him, however I felt I could go faster despite the wind force, so I did. I managed to put more time into those behind me once into that head wind. My change in my pace
1 week ago Don't shoot, don't shoot (except with a camera) Today I got to the park run in time to have a short warm up. Running is starting to feel less of a struggle and I was able to up my pace at various times to make gains on other runners. Today's 5km was my quickest in the last three months. I am so glad I did a short run last evening. My legs didn't feel sore today despite the aerobic/strength circuit I did yesterday morning. In fact my legs felt really good considering some of the load they've worked under this
1 week ago I did a short run around Henley Lake just after 5pm tonight. It helped loosen up my legs, increase my step count, record my first run for this week and I was craving some fresh air. It did the trick and I enjoyed seeing the colours from the sunset. . . . #henleylake #wairarapa #runner #running #run #runtraining #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #qwikkiwi #sunset #lake #lateafternooncolours

2 weeks ago Post the Greytown Park Run (walk or mixture). Severe procrastination nearly robbed me the chance to do today's park run. At 6am I hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.10am I hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.20am I again hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.30am I turned the alarm off. At 6.50am without leaving my bed, I once again checked the weather app. Then around 6.55am my feet touched the floor. It didn't look too bad outside. I jumped into the running gear I had sorted last night, grabbed a wind shield cycling vest to
6 days ago The joys of having short legs - I feel like the kid that has wooden blocks added to the pedals until they grow and don't need them anymore. Despite envisaging gains, I doubt they'll have anything to do with the length in my legs . . #shortarse #chickenlegs #benchpress #bench #muscles #muscle #workout #gym #gymtime #gymopenallhours #gymselfie #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #fitness #fitnessimprovement #qwikkiwi #mizuno #press #run #runner #running
2 weeks ago I've had one of my best weeks for some time. At work I am very organised. At home despite having ample free time, I am disorganised and often running behind time. I can see how retired people can get in a pickle. I need a bit of structure to my day. Last week I started utilising the early evening (instead of watching TV) to prepare everything for the following day. The main thing was my meals. I am back to using @myfitnesspal I've used it before successfully, however I am finding it even better if my meals are sorted the
